Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1000 hPa), and the tide level is below 21 ft. Historically, such conditions have not resulted in coastal flooding events based on our records.
WHEN
Potential peak tides occur around early morning (07:12) and in the evening (20:30–20:42), but neither falls within a historically critical threshold for flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts. Low-lying areas will remain clear, and normal coastal activities can continue without interruption.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is reported as 0.0% for 07/15.
• Observed barometric pressures at or above ~999–1000 hPa are significantly higher than those during severe historic events (which typically featured pressures closer to or below 992.8 hPa).
• Tides under 21 ft have historically shown minimal to no flood risk in Redondo Beach, WA.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is expected. While the tide approaches 20 ft at its peak, the pressure is projected to be near 1004 hPa, well above the critical low-pressure thresholds of past flood events.
WHEN
Primary high tides are anticipated near 08:18 and later in the evening at 21:12. Neither occurrence is projected to reach historically concerning levels.
IMPACTS
No known impacts to property or roadways. Coastal activities in low-lying areas should be unaffected.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0% for 07/16.
• Even though the tide height is notable, the accompanying pressure remains fairly high compared to the significant flood events in our historical records.
• Wind speeds and directions (generally weak, mostly from the northwest or north) do not align with conditions that have produced coastal flooding in the past.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The projected tide rises close to 20 ft (highest near 21:48), but conditions still fall short of the 21+ ft threshold commonly observed in more severe events.
WHEN
Highest tide expected during the late evening; however, barometric pressures are forecast near 1002 hPa—still above the historically low values tied to dangerous flooding.
IMPACTS
No immediate impacts. Typical shoreline and beach activities remain safe.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 07/17 is also at 0.0%.
• Compared with past Category 4 or 5 floods, these tides remain somewhat lower, and the barometric pressure is not unusually low.
• Light winds (generally below 15 mph) from non-critical directions pose minimal onshore surge influence.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any unexpected changes. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
Categories 1-2: No risk of flooding.
Category 3: Close to a flood event and worth monitoring.
Category 4: Flooding is likely however, it is uncertain if this will cause major property damage.
Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
